Top New York Democrats urge Cuomo to resign over sexual harassment allegations

[impulse]

We've got a procedure for dealing with this kind of thing. 

We call it an "election".

It's a good thing that Republicans are leading the investigations. Otherwise...oh wait a minute...

Time to resign to spend more time with the family

Cuomo may not last the week.

It would be a shame if Cuomo is turfed out for his sexual behavior since his handling of the pandemic was a far bigger crime, that was stupid, dishonest, and catastrophic.  It cost many unnecessary deaths, especially in nursing homes.  

He should go to prison for it.

[Sticky Rice Balls]

Had Cuomo been a GOP they would be rallying around him....his fellow GOP that is....is just locker room talk! Boys will be boys!!

Good to see lawmakers of his own party stepping up for decency, which has been sorely missing elsewhere lately.

The difference in morals is quite striking.

Democrats: urge to resign 

Republicans: applaud it as “locker talk” (alternatively: call it “fake news of the leftist big tech media swamp”)

Argumentum ad hominem is a fallacious tool. Its' use indicates that there is no supporting evidence, only regurgitation of talking points.

Now, where are the references? Hint - CNN quotes are not acceptable.

Oh, so now you're a moderator? Doubt they'd agree with you. Here's Trump to offering the excuse 3 times:

NEVER EVER apologize or resign to the cancel culture mob of the Republican Party. We are a DEMOCRACY not a totalitarian state under Trump. Just because some rando from 2 decades ago accuses you of saying something which is protected under free speech laws does NOT mean you are guilty. Cuomo is trying to save New Yorkers but the republicans are obstructing him like always

 

Did you feel the exact same way when Trump was accused of similar things? When his SC candidate was? Etc. Holding such views only when they fit one's political leaning is base.

That’s completely different! Kavanaugh was credibly accused of raping doctor Ford and possibly gang raping multiple women back in the 1980s. We have sworn statements, eye witness accounts and a plethora of accompanying evidence. 
 

Doctor Ford was in fearful of her life. It caused her to be fearful of flying and fearful of doors. What Kavanaugh did was horrific. He permanently scarred a young woman’s livelihood through crimes and possibly more. 
 

You people are the real problem. You harm women by not believing in their accusations. You only believe ones that fit your own political leanings.

 

This is the year 2021 not the 1990s. Please do better and be a better human being it’s not that hard...

I don't know if it's about 'decency', they are politicians, after all. Call me cynical, but I'd wager there's a fair bit of falling in line with contemporary trends, and some competition removal to boot.

Ad hominem arguments were a staple with the Trump administration, supporters and posters cheer-leading that side. Don't recall much issues with that, provided it's directed in the opposite direction.

 

CNN is an acceptable source on this forum, and pretty much elsewhere. Deal with it.

Considering Cuomo's case haven't gone that far yet, how can you discount simply on the available facts? Or for that matter, how can you determine that it's not similar in any way?

I didn't say anything about believing either or not believing either set of complaints.

In the latest accusations, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday that a former aide, Ana Liss, said Cuomo in 2014 sometimes greeted her with a hug and kisses on both cheeks, called her "sweetheart," kissed her hand and asked her if she had a boyfriend.

I hope they never holiday in southern Europe, where thousands of huggy cheek kissing sexual harassments* go unremarked on a daily basis.

OTOH, how are politicians getting elected if they're insensitive to making people uncomfortable? Can't be a vote-winner...

Now Chuck Schumer wants Cuomo to resign.  Cuomo's history.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand called Friday on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign, adding the most powerful Democratic voices yet to calls for the governor to leave office in the wake of allegations of sexual harassment and groping.

Personally I hope he hangs tight and makes them prove the allegations as far as him making a pass at the lady’s that’s kinda what us guys do now if there were consequences for the rejection that’s another matter.the groping allegations must be proven imo

For Schumer resigning for the sexual harrassment may well be a blessing in disguise.  It will give him more time to defend himself on upcoming nursing home death charges which are almost a certainty to happen.

"almost a certainty to happen"? Not even John Daukas, the acting assistant attorney for the Civil Rights division of the Justice Dept. under Trump claims it's anything like a certainty and he's hardly an impartial party.

 

"Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s cover-up of nursing home deaths from COVID-19 could lead to federal criminal charges, a former assistant attorney general has warned.

In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, John Daukas — who was acting attorney general for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division under President Trump — insisted that the multi-agency probe was “serious, perhaps meriting federal criminal charges.”

If Trump didn't resign after some 20+ women accused him of the same thing, why should Cuomo?

[ExpatOK]

The nursing home deaths, mentioned in the OP, are the real reason Cuomo should resign.

 

"... the real reason the governor should resign or be impeached: his role in the deaths of the state's elderly and—as we're now learning—the developmentally disabled."

He didn't cause the deaths, he under reported them.  Kinda like Trump did.  Taking control of data and not letting it be published.  Same same.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56091682

The initial undercount was partly the result of a controversial policy to exclude residents that died outside of the facilities, including in hospital, from the official numbers, according to a report.

From the MSN article:  "The 'allegations of misconduct' that are serving as the basis for the impeachment inquiry must include the massacre he oversaw."  (Emphasis mine)
